Not sure that is related to your problem, but I've just lost few hours until I figured out difference between

colModel:[
{"name":"id","index":"id", "width":55, "hidden":true},
{"name":"id","index":"id", "width":55, "hidden":"true"}
...
]

Somehow I got "true" instead of true, and I've got huge problem where Columns were hidden, but data in table was visible. The biggest problem is that I didn't notice that immediately, and it took lot of time to roll back, step-by-step to check what was wrong. It would be nice if both methods are equally supported, String and Boolean.

Thanks Tony,

I think I have it working correctly in a test page on my side. It appears that if your table allready has a table header and a table body the hidden doesnt work correctly.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I cant move forward with this until I can hide columns on initialization.

I am returning all columns fromt he database but hiding the ones that are not set to be displayed based on which ones are set to be displayed in the datbase.

Do I need to supply more information?

It appears that setting the colModel to have a hidden column is not working.

Notice that the first and the last columns are hidden but they still display in the table.

colNames: ["1", 'Inv No', 'Date', 'Client', 'Amount', 'Tax', 'Total', 'Notes'],
  colModel: [
  { name: '1', index: '1', sortable: false, hidden: true },
{ name: 'id', index: 'id', width: 75 },
{ name: 'invdate', index: 'invdate', width: 90 },
{ name: 'name', index: 'name', width: 100 },
{ name: 'amount', index: 'amount', width: 80, align: "right", hidden: true },
{ name: 'tax', index: 'tax', width: 80, align: "right" },
  { name: 'total', index: 'total', width: 80, align: "right" },
  { name: 'note', index: 'note', width: 150, sortable: false, hidden: true }
],

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
